Same here. Thanks, Jonathan!

One thing I noticed: With pdfLaTeX, I used Herb Schulz' couriers package to get a scaled version of the Courier font for code listings. Now I commented that line out (along with some other things unnecessary for XeLaTeX), but the code still appears in Courier!

If I activate the Couriers package, the engine complains about a missing font (naturally, since the package looks for the traditional TeX font).

But why does XeLaTeX choose Courier? And even at a nicely scaled size?

Thanks,

Jan
